Choosing the right kettlebell weight
FORMA Team · 3 min read
The right kettlebell depends on the exercise and your experience. Here's a simple starting point.
A simple guide
For swings, which use your strongest muscles:
- New to training: 8–12 kg
- Some experience: 12–16 kg
- Experienced: 16–24 kg
Presses and one-arm work
Choose about half your swing weight for overhead presses and one-arm exercises.
Why adjustable helps
An adjustable kettlebell covers 4–16 kg in one, so you can use the right weight for each exercise and keep progressing.
These are general training tips. If you're new to exercise or have a health condition, check with your doctor first. Product details are on each product page.
